Quick & Easy Tarot

Quick & Easy Tarot - meanings printed directly on the cards

Most tarot decks ask you to open a guidebook the moment you forget what a card means. This deck prints that information directly on the card itself. Upright and reversed.

Quick & Easy Tarot is based on the Universal Waite Tarot and contains 78 cards. Mary Hanson-Roberts recoloured the classic imagery with softer tones. Ellen Lytle wrote the text that appears on each card: short, clear, usable.

What you see on the cards

The illustrations follow the Rider-Waite system, but with a modern colour palette. The symbolism remains recognisable. Below each image you find the card name and two short text blocks: one for upright, one for reversed.

The text is written in simple English. No long sentences, no vague descriptions. The format is compact: 57 x 121 mm. The cards sit comfortably in your hand and have a matte finish, which makes shuffling easier.

Who this deck is designed for

This deck is aimed at beginners. The text gives you immediate support during a reading. You do not need to remember what The Sun or the Eight of Swords means. You read it, you interpret it, you move on.

That also makes it useful for people who have been reading tarot for a while but do not have all the meanings memorised. Or for anyone who wants a client to follow along without having to explain every card.

Draw one card each morning and read both meanings out loud. After a few weeks most of the cards will be in your system without active study.

Questions we often get

Are the texts on the cards available in other languages?
No, only in English. The sentences are short and use basic vocabulary, so they are accessible even with limited English.

Is there a guidebook included with detailed background information?
There is a reference card with a few spreads. Further explanation is printed on the cards themselves. If you want to go deeper into the symbolism, you will need a separate book on the Rider-Waite system.
